mesh

Syntax

Description

mesh(X,Y,Z) draws a wireframe
mesh with color determined by Z, so color is proportional
to surface height. If X and Y are
vectors, length(X) = n and length(Y) =
m, where [m,n] = size(Z). In this case,
(X(j), Y(i), Z(i,j))
are the intersections of the wireframe grid lines; X and Y correspond
to the columns and rows of Z, respectively. If X and Y are
matrices, (X(i,j), Y(i,j), Z(i,j))
are the intersections of the wireframe grid lines. The values in X, Y,
or Z can be numeric, datetime, duration, or categorical
values.

mesh(Z) draws a wireframe
mesh using X = 1:n and Y = 1:m,
where [m,n] = size(Z). The height, Z,
is a single-valued function defined over a rectangular grid. Color
is proportional to surface height. The values in Z can
be numeric, datetime, duration, or categorical values.

mesh(...,C) draws a wireframe
mesh with color determined by matrix C. MATLAB® performs
a linear transformation on the data in C to obtain
colors from the current colormap. If X, Y,
and Z are matrices, they must be the same size
as C.

mesh(...,'PropertyName',PropertyValue,...)
sets the value of the specified surface property. Multiple property
values can be set with a single statement.

mesh(axes_handles,...)
plots into the axes with handle axes_handle instead
of the current axes (gca).

Tips

mesh does not accept complex inputs.

A mesh is drawn as a Surfaceplot graphics
object with the viewpoint specified by view(3).
The face color is the same as the background color (to simulate a
wireframe with hidden-surface elimination), or none when
drawing a standard see-through wireframe. The current colormap determines
the edge color. The hidden command controls the
simulation of hidden-surface elimination in the mesh, and the shading command
controls the shading model.
